Following my last video, demonstrating how to change a lyre string, here is a demonstration of the new set of strings now all installed on my Luthieros 'Lyre of Apollo III'.

The strings featured in this demonstration are "Ode" lyre strings, manufactured from sugar cane - available from Luthieros:

The timbre of sugar cane strings is a great compromise to actual, authentic unpolished gut lyre strings (these are also available from Luthieros).

Like gut, the timbre of sugar cane lyre strings is warmer & the attack is much more crisp, but unlike gut, sugar cane strings are not affected by humidity and not being as brittle as gut, are far more durable & as this video show, a lot more powerful!

The piece I am playing, is a 'live' arrangement of my tune, "Paean to Ares" (track 5 from my album, "Kithara of the Golden Age"). In October 2021, this will become the main theme tune of "Apotheosis: The Hellenistic Age" - the forthcoming mod of the popular video game by Paradox Development Studio, "Crusader Kings III":

The best things in life are worth waiting for!

I will also soon be putting togther a video to also demonstrate the timbre of actual unpolished gut strings. The most unique characteristic of unpolished gut, is that unlike polished gut, each string is not perfectly uniform, resulting in a quirky, distinct voice for each separate string.
